TORONTO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell to its
weakest against the U.S. dollar in nearly two weeks and dropped
to its lowest against major European currencies since late 2011
on Tuesday, hurt by weak domestic data and a fall in the price
of U.S. crude oil.

The currency also took a hit as Canadian government bond
yields fell from highs reached on Monday. Lower yields tend to
reduce a currency's appeal because they are less likely to
attract international capital flows.

"At the margins all these developments haven't been helpful
for the Canadian dollar," said Greg Moore, currency strategist
at TD Securities.

Prices for Canadian government debt were higher across the
maturity curve, with the two-year bond up 6 Canadian
cents to yield 1.192 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond
rose 48 Canadian cents to yield 2.684 percent.
